Ouch - Nicky Bissett

[The Great Cornholio]

Just seen the Duncan Shearer tackle that broke Nicky Bissett's leg in 2 places - dreadful, dreadful tackle. And he only got a yellow for it. He'd be sued, nowadays.

Nasty injury. I always thought the central pairing of Bissett and McCarthy was a perfect match.

I seem to remember the injury came just as there was a lot of talk about a big money move to Ipswich being lined up? Before the injury he was a class centre back.

I can remember when Codnor signed for us Barry Fry stated that he would play for England one day!

Odd how people can see things so differently. I watched the Wigan game with a bloke who had Bissett as his least favourite player of the last 15 years (he wavered on Peter Smith for a moment, but stuck to his guns).

I don't think he ever saw Richard Tiltman though!!!!

Very harsh that. Bissett could look a bit clumsy due to his height, and he wasn't the quickest. But he tidied up well and was good in the air, I always felt very confident when he was in the team.

Never said I agreed with him.

I've personally got nothing against tall, gawky, clumsy looking players who work their sock off. Look at my choice of handle for heaven's sake!!!

I seem to remember Nicky Bissett saying he was late for training once during his rehab becase he was stopped on his bike at Shoreham by protesters for wearing sheepskin gloves.

*breathe*

Bisset was always a classy defender; weighed in with his fair share of goals too.

Can I ask where you saw the tackle, Great Cornholio?

I was always a Bissett fan, myself. However, my lasting memory of him is being interviewed on an end of season video, when, in a way that only footballers can, he stated that: "We reverted to five at the back, which we'd never played before". Unfair, I know, but I don't suppose we bought him for his brains. That was Codner........tee hee.

It was horrible. We all knew it was serious apart from the idiot ref who kept playing on.
